President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement crackdown on Washington expanded Wednesday and top administration officials visited National Guard troops to support a deployment that has left parts of the U.

The 135 Louisiana National Guard troops sent to join President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime and homelessness in Washington D.C. had arrived Wednesday to help local law enforcement — and they will stay there “as long as the President needs them,” Gov. Jeff Landry said Wednesday.

National Guard members from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana have begun arriving in Washington.

The number of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., increased again on Tuesday as a sixth Republican-led state sent some of its soldiers to the nation's capital as part of the president's activation to fight what he claims is rising crime in the city.

Vice President JD Vance says National Guard troops are making substantial progress tackling crime in Washington, D.C., and suggests their mission may extend beyond 30 days.

Public spaces and private ones with permission are usually fair game; if accused of obstruction, backing off is best.
